Interesting facts

1. Springers and Cockers Used to Be the Same Breed

Springer Spaniels and Cocker Spaniels used to be the same breed. A litter of puppies would be separated by size. The smaller dogs were designated as Cocker Spaniels, which hunted a kind of bird called the woodcock, and the larger dogs were designated as Springer Spaniels. It wasn’t until the turn of the 20th century that Springers and Cockers were designated separate breeds.

2. They Appear in 16th Century Art

Though they may not have gone by the name “Springer Spaniel” in the 16th century, there are many paintings of dogs that look very much like English Springer Spaniels from that time period.

3. They Are Exceptional Show Dogs

As a breed, English Springer Spaniels have won the third most Best in Show awards at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. With 6 titles, English Springer Spaniels fall behind Scottish Terriers with 8, and Wire Fox Terriers with 14.

4. Many Celebrities Have Owned Springers

George W. Bush had an English Springer Spaniel named Spot, and George H.W. Bush had one named Millie. Other famous English Springer Spaniel owners include Princess Grace, and Oprah Winfrey.
